Assembly Procedure (Using New Bearings and Seal)
1. Press bushings into hub side opposite flange.
NOTE: It is important to press bushings in straight.
The bushings should also be centered in the hub socket leaving relatively equal amounts of bushing sticking out of the
hub on each side.
A suggested simple tool for pressing in bushing to hub is a 1/4 in. screw x 3 in. or 4 in. long and 1/4 in. nut. Thread nut onto
screw approximately 3/4 to 1 in.
Insert threaded end of screw into bushing. Lubricate bushing by dipping in clean water only. Then press into place.
